Either the Bible is what it has been understood to be for nearly 2000 years, or it’s merely a work of literature that we can interpret to no end.

It can’t be both.

Why not? Aren’t all things possible with God?

“Either the Bible is what it has been understood to be for nearly 2000 years, or it’s merely a work of literature that we can interpret to no end. It can’t be both.”

Actually, “the Bible” is a construct of the Catholic Church and its’ Protestant variations follow along.
The current editions are as errant as it is possible to be and still resemble the Tanach and Apostolic Scriptures.
This understanding is a historical fact with much arguments abounding and is well known in the most if not all various sect's seminaries .

See my other post on this thread for more info about said “errantness” of the Bible.
